Drink lots of orange juice. Or just tons of Vitamin C and E. Can't have one without the other.Maddy (:

Vitamin C is good, but in certain amounts. Studies show that a 500mg daily supplement (meaning ontop of normal diet) can help purge your body of bad crap. On the others end a 1000mg daily supplement was shown to be less beneficial than the 500mg dose as it not only cleans out the bad crap but the good crap as well! I know I'm not being technical, but I'm sure I could find the article if anyone wants to read it.Get better soon Jason!

With your charm and grace and dissembling ability, I'm sure you'll be friends in no time and be invited over for tea. Remember the witticism, a stranger is simply a friend you've yet to meet. For you, it should be easy to turn dialing incompetence into an asset.C

Des, how were the "assets" BTW?

[Stupid Jason, Doing Stupid Things]

Sometimes we do the "right" thing because it makes us feel good. Other times we do it becuase we have to, even though we hate to. Me-thinks if you would have given in to your urges you would have been sated for the moment, but sober times would have just brought regret and disappointments in both yourself and with the fact that he will still go back to the girl and play it straight. You ever thought about having a heart-to-heart with him, put all your cards on the table, and be ready to (worse case) end it once and for all? I'm no dating counsilor and I've been out of the dating scene for about 2 years now (damn, that long?) so my advice is nothing but what I feel is a logical, straight-up approach. That and I have little patience for trivial 'love' games.Just do me one thing, and take it easy on the drinking. It's okay to go out with friends and get tanked for the good reasons like having fun. It's never good to look for answers or to hide in the bottom of a bottle. I was headed down that road myself before I was even of age, but, in true Nick fashion, I got tanked at a drill weekend and blacked out. Started off in the barracks where I killed a pint of Bacardi Superior in a Liter of Coke (now that's heavy-handed drink right there). When we moved to the NCO club I proceed to buy myself 6 rum and cokes and someone else bought me 2 jack and cokes. They don't make 'em weak there either. I was coherent until around midnight, my battle had left me about half an hour prior and I made the 10 minute trek back to the barracks. I guess it ended up taking me 30 minutes becuase aparently I called my BF and talked to him the whole way back. Some other soldier from the unit staying above us approached me on the floor we were staying. Not knowing who he was and being plastered I became defensive and when I went to push him away from me I stepped on his foot. Well he was tanked too so he fell over but when he did he could move his foot and ended up shattering his ankle. I was almost seperated and was put on 'probation' for a year. To this day I still get comments from other soldiers about me being a "badass bruiser' and beating people up even though that's not me at all. I mean I will if I have to but I'm generally non-confrontational. Even a Sgt Maj brought me up in conversation to one of my Sgt's the other day. This event was also at the end of a string of 4 or 5 blackouts in a week and a half period. One problem I had was that I could bury an entire bottle of alc one night and be good and another night a pint would take me out. I still drink often, I just now know when I'm at my buzz limit. I just can't trust myself not to do something retarded when I get smashed. Looking to pursue a carear in LE also helps keep me under control as my driving record is going to hold me back enough as it is.I more than know you don't need a lecture, so consider this just a simple AD forum buddy request
